Appeal following dog incident

We are appealing for help to trace a dog which has bitten a member of the public in Rickmansworth.

On Monday 13 July at around 5.30pm, it is reported that the victim was on the Uxbridge Road, near the industrial area by the lakes, when he was bitten by a large brown dog, possibly a Cane Corso.
